Forecasts

Sioux Spirit (6/4), Pop Star (10/3), Polar Bear (7/2), Drunk In Love (7/1), Carlotta (8/1), Jer Batt (14/1), Dappled Light (40/1), Spirit Of Eagles (50/1), Seven Chakra (66/1), Sam's Xpress (100/1)

SIOUX SPIRIT went with plenty of zest when third in a big-field maiden at the Curragh over 6f 12 days ago and with this drop back in trip likely to suit if anything, she looks the answer. Carlotta, a former stablemate of the selection, is a threat, while Pop Star could be a different proposition this time.
